  1. http://rickcooks.com/recipes/bratwurst.htm

    They didn't sell hot dogs at Crosley Field in the 1950's. But they did sell "franks" (some called them "wieners") and sausages that they called "brats" and "metts". These terms were all Cincinnati shorthand for the common German sausages originally called frankfurters, wienerwurst, bratwurst, and mettwurst. Whether they bore any resemblance to their original German or Austrian versions, I can't say. Probably not, considering Cincinnati's mixed Bavarian-Austrian-Irish-Jewish-Greek heritage, but so what?. As a kid from Kansas, I thought they were damn good, and a far cry from the salty, jerky-like hot dogs I had known in Kansas and Missouri. ("Hot Dog" was coined for a sausage sandwich served at the St. Louis World's Fair a half-century earlier and the term had not completely caught on in Cincinnati.)

    Wikipedia:

    Mettwurst is a strongly flavoured German sausage made from raw minced pork, which is preserved by curing and smoking. The southern German variety is soft and similar to Teewurst. Braunschweiger mettwurst is smoked somewhat but still soft and spreadable, while other northern German varieties such as the Holsteiner are harder and more akin to salami, due to longer smoking. The Low German word mett, meaning minced pork without bacon, is derived from the Old Saxon word meti (meaning food), and is related to the English word 'meat'. Mettwurst can be cooked or fried or spread on rye bread with onions and eaten raw.

    One of the comments:

    they probably wear less at the pool. And leotards may not show as much skin but the body is still shown the same, so what's the difference. it is time to become less subjective. Had this song been about a day at the beach and the outfits with less lace no one would have a problem.
